What I DISLIKE is how you talk about it. Like your name, you act like an asshole know-it-all about it.
Here, in America, when we say "proper grammar" or "proper English" we very obviously mean our American derivation of English.
There is no reason for you to chime in and start saying stupid shit like "LOL AMERICAN ENGLISH ISN'T EVEN REAL ENGLISH DUMB FAGGOTS!"
That is what annoys me.
For 1, I don't say anything close to "LOL AMERICAN ENGLISH ISN'T EVEN REAL ENGLISH DUMB FAGGOTS"
I give mature responses when they are deserved.
Not until someone starts to babble on & on about it, do I start to babble back.
For 2, I'm from California, born, raised, reside, so you don't have to tell me "when we say."
For 3, like I said, I have no problem with people speaking this way.
We all do it.
But what RIGHT do you or anyone have to tell ME or ANYONE else how to speak proper English?
Because the fact of the matter is, 95% of the users on R.I.U. speak the same way as me & you.
So, your telling me I have no right to get annoyed with people telling me to do something THEY AREN'T EVEN DOING themselves?
Give me a break.
I have no problem admitting I speak a shitty form of English.
It's people like JON who do have a problem admitting they speak a shitty form of English.
Obviously you don't have a problem admitting it, because you admitted you speak a form of English yourself that is improper.
Come on... think about it.
I wouldn't have to defend my way of speaking English if the "English police" weren't on R.I.U. would I?
Therefore, I wouldn't annoy you?
Therefore, that tells you the core of the problem isn't me... it's them.
How can you say I'm trying to be a smartass, when in fact someone is trying to CORRECT my way of speaking?
Wouldn't that make THEM the ones trying to be smartass'?
Lol.
This is common-sense stuff here, right?
Sometimes you have to dig to find the problem, & a lot of the time you find out the problem wasn't even what you thought.
In this case, I would say it's the "grammar police" - that's just my opinion.
PS: My screename is what it is as a joke anyway, obviously, like many users, it's just a fill in.
